Researchers observe an antiferromagnetic diode effect in even-layered MnBi₂Te₄
Antiferromagnets are materials in which the magnetic moments of neighboring atoms are aligned in an alternating pattern, resulting in no net macroscopic magnetism. These materials have interesting...
Ultrathin organic-inorganic device shows promise for wireless monitoring of biomarkers
In recent years, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of wearable and implantable devices that can detect and record biological signals. These devices can help to keep track of various...
The relationship between emotions and economic decision-making differs across countries, multi-national analysis finds
When making economic decisions, humans can be driven by various factors, including their goals and emotions. Past studies have hypothesized that emotions play a crucial role in economic decisions,...
Computational approach could continually teach robots new skills via dialogue
Findings hint at a superfluid phase in ²⁹F and ²⁸O
Data collected by the SAMURAI spectrometer at RIKEN's RI Beam Factory (RIBF) in Japan recently led to the detection of a rare fluorine (F) isotope, known as 30F. This has opened interesting...
Propolis from a Morocco-native plant found to improve cognitive function in male rats experiencing chronic mild stress
Chronic stress can have adverse effects on both the minds and bodies of affected individuals. Past studies suggest that particularly stressful life events can also impact people's cognitive...
Magnetically driven soft robot achieves high-speed jumping
Many animal species, ranging from insects to amphibians and fish, use jumping as a means of moving within their surrounding environment. Jumping can be very advantageous for these animals, for...
Task planning framework supports human-robot collaborative furniture assembly
Ensuring that robots can smoothly collaborate with humans in real-world environments is a crucial step towards their large-scale deployment. While some robotic systems are already engaging daily...
Nested premotor circuits activity found to drive male flies’ production of distinct courtship songs
While they are courting, some animals produce distinct sound patterns that clearly convey their intentions to potential mates. These sounds are typically produced via a series of muscle movements,...
Researchers develop scalable approach to integrate ultrafast 2D flash memories
The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to process large amounts of data has increased the need for better performing memory devices. The data storage solutions that could...
